El Pintor Tequila Joven
The Tequila Joven is produced in the highlands of Jalisco. After 8 years, the private estate agave is harvested and cooked in an autoclave and then fermented with yeasts that have been used for decades in the hacienda, then twice distilled in a 100 year old copper pot still.
The blanco is blended with an extra añejo that used the same production methods and was then aged 3-4 years in used bourbon barrels and passed through their proprietary filtration system in which they remove most of the color but none of the original organoleptic properties.
Clear with a very mild amber shine. Fruity yet medium to full body and a long spicy oak finish. Delivers a vibrant agave flavor supported by spicy oak nuances.

Brand Story
With the newest release of a blanco tequila, the line of three stands out within its categories by walking the line between craft & luxury, art & science, traditional & innovative production methods.
Created by Maestro Tequilero Guillermo Barroso Arnaud, the brand invokes the dynamic culture of Mexico today: a culture exploding with art and contemporary design but distinctly rooted in a complex history. Every aspect of this line is deliberate, down to the bottle design, which for the Joven is in the shape of an oil paint tube. The blue represents Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul and is “painted” on to the bottle like a paint swatch. The blanco label expands the painter’s palette with a full splash of paint to represent its versatility for sipping neat or creating craft cocktails.
